NDMP functionality in IBM Spectrum Protect and NetApp filers
IBM Spectrum Protect V7.1.4 or later and Data ONTAP 8.2 through 9.3 P3. Starting with Data ONTAP 9.3 P4, IBM Spectrum Protect V8.1.7 or later is required.


What Cluster Aware Backup (CAB) extension does (netapp.com)
CAB (Cluster Aware Backup) is an NDMP v4 protocol extension. This extension enables the NDMP server to establish a data connection on a node that owns a volume.

2.2 Enable SVM-Aware NDMP Mode
To enable the SVM-aware NDMP mode for backups, complete the following steps:

  1. Enable the SVM-aware NDMP mode.
    • ::> system services ndmp node-scoped mode off
  2. Ensure that NDMP is in the allowed protocols list on each SVM.
    • ::> vserver modify –vserver vserver_name -allowed-protocols ndmp
    • Note: Always append NDMP to the existing allowed protocols list. Do not run the command directly on your production system. If you do so, the command will delete the existing list and just update NDMP.
  3. Enable NDMP on an SVM.
    • ::> vserver services ndmp on
  4. Generate a password for the SVM. The password will be used by the backup application to authenticate the NDMP connection.
    • ::> vserver services ndmp generate password –vserver vserver_name –user vsadmin
    • Note: For a cluster-wide configuration, use the cluster-management LIF. The default user to authenticate NDMP is admin. For an SVM-wide configuration, use a data LIF. The default user for authentication is vsadmin. For more information, refer to the “NDMP Authentication Methods” section.
  5. Configure the NDMP tape libraries through the backup application.
    • Note: For information about tape discovery rules, refer to the documentation for the backup application.

About NDMP with SnapLock volumes (netapp.com)
Recover files/volume from a snapmirror destination snaplock volume to a non-snaplock source volume - NetApp Knowledge Base
1. Use ndmpcopy to copy files from the SnapLock destination volume to a non-SnapLock source volume. For more details see: How to use NDMP-based copy utilities (such as ndmpcopy) to copy data between the same or different modes of Data ONTAP - NetApp Knowledge Base
OR
2. Use CIFS/NFS to access the SnapLock destination volume and copy the files to the non-SnapLock source volume

How do SnapLock Unified Aggregates work for ONTAP 9.10.1 and later?
All data aggregates become SnapLock Unified Aggregates automatically upon upgrade to ONTAP 9.10.1 and later.
